Beginnings.

W1LU»*< MO*flf H*aRISC\

^ISTORY told long ago the
story of the coming, in De-
cember, 1788, of the New
Jersey pioneers to the vast
amphitheatre where a hun-
dred years later the Queen
City of the Ohio Valley was
to exist.

They found a great
plain, bed of ancient river,
with banks which towered
like their own Passaic
Hills, bounding it on the
four sides. Not from the
junction of the Alleghany

and the Monongahela to where the Ohio empties
into the Mississippi, is there a site like this which
the founders of Cincinnati chose. In the pre-glacial
period the rushing waters of the ancient river had
flowed over and around the wide region. Then had
come the glacier from the North, filling the bed of
that river with its mighty deposits of sand and gravel
and boulders, and forcing the river into a new
channel. Former banks took on the appearance of
true hills, from 400 to 470 feet high. These hills
were furrowed by deep ravines, scooped out by the
receding waters, and the wide-spreading bed of the
old river was transformed into a broad, level valley,
fit home and place, hills and valley both, for the
city that was to be.

Professor Wright, in his "Ice Age in North
America" has unfolded the story of those distant
epochs, written in Cincinnati in the sands and gravel
of Fourth Street, the boulders of Avondale, and
the fossils of the hillsides. "It is the most pictur-
esque city in the country," said the Prince of
Wales, in 1860, as he looked from Storm Mount
across Mill Creek Valley to the hills beyond. The

river and the glacier, the Cincinnati ice-dam and
the Lake of the Ohio, ten thousand years before,
had indeed done their perfect work.

What Robert Patterson and Matthias Denman
saw when they landed in John Cleves Symmes'
purchase, opposite the mouth of the Licking river,
was a forest-covered plain, extending back from the
Ohio from half a mile to five miles, and from one

mile to three miles in breadth, — in all an area of
about five square miles. Here and there were
mounds, — proof, if those early settlers had but
known it, that an older civilization, — moved by
who can tell what attractions, — had once occupied
the site with a city of its own kind and fashion.
Around the plain were the encompassing hills,
scraped into rounded beauty by the great glacier

and ploughed deep by many ravines and three small
valleys. Up these valleys were destined in after
years to run the Montgomery Pike, the Reading
Road and Vine Street. In the ravines were to be
clustered such settlements as Bethlehem.

a certain large spaciousness, and its evident desira-
bility for the uses of their life, the little party of

twenty- eight settled here, and called the place
Losantiville. They built a rude stockade, which
they named Fort Washington. They presently
changed the name of the little settlement to Cin-
cinnati, and they called the county Hamilton, — for
the Revolution and the beginnings of the Republic
were fresh in their memories and they
cherished these associations. Other

settlers began to come, and at

the commencement of the
nineteenth century, despite
Indian attacics and the hard-
ships of frontier life, there
was a population here of
seven hundred people.
Who could then have for-
seen that at the beginning
of the twentieth century,
this hamlet of outlanders
would be a great city, the
commercial, manufacturing,
industrial metropolis of the
Ohio Valley, and central city of
a nation of seventy-six millions of
inhabitants?

More people came. They came from New
Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and New
England. Then Germans came, seeking here the
freedom denied in Fatherland. A great tide of
immigration followed. Before the middle of the

people, in which lived men of many states and many
climes and many nationalities. Provincial Cincin-
nati never was. She was cosmopolitan from her
early days, and here the streams of various life,
customs, thoughts and even religions have continued
to mingle, welded now into homogenous unity.
The foreign born population in all
Hamilton County was, by the last

census, only sixteen per cent.

of the whole.

In 1860, Cincinnati
had a population of 161,000
and its area was still chiefly
confined to the valley be-
low the hills. Then began
in earnest the hegira to
the hilltops and after
that movement came an
increase in territory.
Today, as one stands on
Mt. Adams, where nearly
sixty years ago, John Quincy
Adams, the greatCommoner, dedi-
cated the Cincinnati Observatory, he
yin avenue of approach. gaw strctchcd bcfore him, three hundred

feet below, the modern Cincinnati, whose begin-
nings Dickens and Mrs. Trollope saw. There are
the great industrial establishments, the thousand
streets, the miles of business blocks, the public

buildings, banks, churche,s, hotels, bridges,

century the town had grown to be a city of 46,000 steamboats, railroads, institutions, — all the forms

of active, teeming, busy life. To the north and
east, and far across the broad valley which busi-
ness has claimed for its own, in the west, lies the
new Cincinnati, the Cincinnati of the hills, which
Dickens and Mrs. Trollope never saw.

Almost contemporaneously with the great
movement to the hills on the Ohio side of the river
and beyond them into the valley on the north,
Cincinnati began reaching across the Ohio into
Kentucky. It was in 1866, that the first bridge
was built, then the largest of its kind in the world,
and still second only to the bridge which hangs
suspended over East River. Five bridges, three of
them for railroads, built at an aggregate cost of
over eleven millions of dollars, now span the Ohio,
connecting the Kentucky part of the metropolis
with the Ohio part. Covington, Newport, Dayton,

Bellevue, Ludlow and all the adjacent flourishing
towns on the Kentucky side, are part and parcel of
this great center, this hive of industry and labor.
Bridges, street cars, industries all center here.
Census returns set forth only inadequately the
essential facts. Business crosses municipal and state
lines; the census can not. Identical interests bring
communities into commercial and industrial unity;
the census must separate into states and municipal-
ities. It is for this reason that neither in the last
census, nor in any to come, can this metropolis
be credited with her belongings.

Cincinnati is now the active, inspiring center
of a population of more than half a million people,
and its immediate influence, its daily trade, extends
into Kentucky and Indiana as well as Ohio. For com-
merce and business it is practically a tri-state city.

Reiver and Railroads

/"CINCINNATI thus owes to river and glacier its
^-^ charm of scenery, its variety of landscape, and
its adaptability to the wants of business. To the
river it owes much more. " Every great city," says
Dr. Weber, writing, in 1899, in the Columbia
University series, " owes its eminence to commerce,
and even in the United States, where the railroads
are popularly supposed to be the real city makers,
all but two of the cities of 100,000 or more inhabit-
ants are situated on navigable waters."

All its early growth and swift development came
to Cincinnati from the river. All the first traffic

was borne on its current. For years it continued
to be the chief artery of trade between east and
west. Nor did its usefulness end with the coming
of the railroad era. Steamboats came before steam
cars, and the untaxed river has brought continually
to the doors of Cincinnati tribute of coal from the
vast bituminous regions of the east, and of lumber,
salt, clay and other products from the mountains of
West Virginia and Kentucky.

The Ohio river is navigable for a thousand
miles, and its tributaries for three thousand more.
"It is the greatest tonnage-producing river in the

world," says Colonel Vance, "and this tonnage can
be moved cheaper on the waters of the Ohio than
on any other river, or by any other mode of trans-
portation, in the world."

The report of Major Bixby, of the United States
Engineer Corps, for 1900, gave the total tonnage
carried on the Ohio river alone as 13,529,742 tons,
and the passengers carried as 3,612,895. "The river
arrivals of coal at Cincinnati usually represent about
4000 barges annually," says the last report of the
Chamber of Commerce. Each barge has the car-
rying capacity of about twenty-eight cars of twenty
tons each. The river rates have been stated to be
less than one-sixth of a cent per ton per mile. The
yearly coal consumption at Cincinnati is about sixty
million bushels, about two - thirds of all the coal
used here coming by river. Is it any wonder that
this great, untrammeled water-way has been from
the beginning one of the great sources of Cincin-
nati's growth and prosperity? "The distributing
river," as Professor Dana finely called the Ohio,
has made Cincinnati the cheapest coal market in
the country, and the great distributing point for
all the mineral and lumber regions of the moun-
tains, and for the coal fields of the Ohio valley.

The second great factor in the growth of
Cincinnati has been the railroads, twenty-three of
which, it is stated, enter the city. It is one of the
four largest railroad centers in the United States.
No estimate of the relative tonnage as between river
and rail at Cincinnati has been lately made. In

1874 a careful inquiry was instituted for the Ameri-
can Cyclopsdia with the result of establishing the
approximate tonnage ratio of the railroads and canal
at that time as three to one, for the river. It is
hardly to be questioned that by reason of the lack
of river improvements the ratio in favor of the rail-
roads is today still larger. Low rates, to and from
all river points, are assured by the river; and low
rates, to and from all other points, both in the inte-
rior and on the seaboard, are assured by competing
railroad lines, east, west, north and south. The
entire railroad mileage of the United States is at the
command of the merchants and manufacturers of
this city.

Nor must there be overlooked the canal, and
the cheap transportation it has afiforded to and from
the prosperous cities and towns between Cincinnati
and Toledo. Its opening was hailed with rejoicing,
and today, when the preparations are visibly in pro-
gress for the adoption of electricity as the motive
power, a new lease of usefulness seems to be
before it.

In December, 1899, a paper, remarkable for its
deductive logic, was read before the Manufactur-
ers' Club. The author of the paper had been
engaged in a large manufacturing business in an-
other State. Having decided that he could prose-
cute his business to better advantage elsewhere, he
made a careful study of reports and statistics of Cin-
cinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and Minneapolis. His
investigations as to the relative cost of freight from

points of origin to all parts of the United States re-
sulted in the following comparisons of averages per
100 pounds: From Cincinnati 81 cents; Chicago
84 cents; St. Louis 88 cents; Minneapolis $1.22.
Within a radius of 600 miles, the rates were ascer-
tained to be: Cincinnati 66 cents; Chicago 73
cents; St. Louis 75 cents; Minneapolis $1.11. His
reasons for coming to Cincinnati were summed up
in these two trenchant sentences :

" It is a fact that you can reach all parts of the

LTnited States in less average time and at a less
average cost, for freight, express, telegraph or pas-
senger service than from any other important city."
"All the products of the industry of the United
States are accessible to and from Cincinnati at a lower
average cost and in less average time than to or from
any other city." Low freight rates, securing cheap
distribution, and cheap raw materials, are two of
the essential factors in promoting commerce and
manufacturing.

In the

heart of the city.

III. Commerce and Manufacturing

T is the environment that deter-
mines the development of cities,"
a modern economic writer has
said. Just as the forces of nature,
through the river and glacier gave to
Cincinnati for all time its remarkable
and picturesque beauty, so the forces
of modern life, through the river and
other means of communication, estab-
lished the conditions under
which Cincinnati's past
growth has been achieved,
and under which its future
^^'P^^H^^^gBK growth will proceed.

S^— ' ' At first, it was solely a

commercial city. As late as
1860, it was the largest city
in the west. Its great stores were thronged with
customers from all parts of the west and south. Its
preeminence was beyond dispute. After the civil
war, an era of rapid railroad development began,
in the midst of which this city undertook, as a
matter of commercial necessity, the construction
of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. In 1879, with
the resumption of specie payments, another era of
railroad extension set in, and cities far to the west
of Cincinnati became local emporiums of trade.
Cincinnati was not slow to see the changing

conditions. It comprehended the meaning of the
changes and it sought in two ways to meet them, —
first, by building the Southern Railroad; second,
by industrial development. Years before, Horace
Greeley had said, "It requires no keenness of obser-
vation to perceive that Cincinnati is destined to
become the focus and mart of the greatest circle of
manufacturing thrift on this continent." Con-
sciously and unconsciously, Cincinnati worked
along this new line. Now there is distinct recog-
nition, both at home and abroad, of that which
Mr. Greeley proclaimed, and that which natural
conditions have imposed. From commercial pre-
eminence the city has passed to the heights of
industrial preeminence. Here is the proof of
progress :

If one wants the details of this vast aggregate
of activity, of this mighty sum of industrial en-
deavor, let him go to the reports of Mr. C. B.
Murray, the superintendent of the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce, recognized statistical
authority the world over. The city could not desire

a nobler exhibit of her various forms of industrial
energy and might than is made in the two hundred
pages of his report for 1900.

A few statistics, gathered from that report,
speak more eloquently than words of the growth
of the metropolis in five years.

"In proportion to population," Mr. Murray
says: "Cincinnati holds the first position among
cities of prominence in the country in value of out-
put of its factories and workshops. The output of
manufactures the last year represented over $600
per capita of local population."

In his report for 1899, Mr. Murray says: "Cin-
cinnati houses do more business in pig iron than is
done in any other market in the country. The

city continues to be the center of trade in the
southern product, and the houses of Cincinnati
with their branches elsewhere represent the largest
selling business in this country." Figures tell the
story. In 1899, the total production of pig iron in
the United States was 13,620,703 tons; of states
tributary to Cincinnati, 5,912,625 tons; Cincinnati's
sales and shipments, 1,658,000 tons, — nearly one-
eighth of the total aggregate product of the greatest
iron-producing country in the world.

Cheap coal, cheap lumber, cheap iron — these
are the substantial foundations on which the manu-
factures of the city are building.

The industrial development has not been one-
sided. It is as varied as the population is cosmo-
politan. It ranges from soap to pottery, from pianos
to playing cards, from electrical machinery to
boots and shoes, from iron to meats, from lumber
to tobacco and beer, from vehicles to clothing, from
wood-working machinery to boilers and harness.
Cincinnati itself is scarcely conscious of its extent.
It has needed the coming of establishments from
other places, or the awards of grand prizes and
medals at the Paris Exposition to open the eyes of
many to the change which has taken place, and
which is still in splendid progress.

One who lived in Cincinnati twenty years and
more ago, said: "A man must go away from this
city and return at invervals, to realize how it is grow-
ing. Every time I come back, I am amazed at the
fresh evidences of prosperity."

N TRANCE to a
) new life for
Cincinnati h as
begun . The
superior ad-
vantages of the
city, here but
meagerly indi-
cated, are real-
ized by all who
study statistics
and grasp their
full meaning.
Since the civil
war, there has been no time when as much new
capital has been coming to the city as during the
last three years. Great capitalists, who have studied
situations, chances for profitable investment in
banking, in street railroads, in real estate, in manu-
facturing, in trade, have found here opportunities
which they have been embracing. As an illustra-
tion,— in the line of ammunition, Cincinnati had
no representation in the census of 1890; today there
are but two places in the world whose yearly out-
put exceeds that of this city. The river and the
railroads, the canal, the cheapness of raw materials,
aided and used by awakened enterprise and faith
in the future, promise decades of prosperity in the
years to come that will surpass the measure of
growth which was witnessed in the great years
between 1820 and 1840.

Is it asked what kind of a city this is to live in —
this city whose natural advantages for manufactur-
ing and commerce have been briefly suggested?
It is a fair question to put, for trade and commerce
are not all of life. What are the advantages of the
city for residence? How about its public build-
ings, its parks, its schools, its libraries? Will there
be found a hospitable, conservative and cultured
people or a struggling, transient population, unde-
sirable in business relations or otherwise?

To the credit of Cincinnati, it is found that her
economic condition is far above the average.

Before passing to a brief consideration of the
new conditions that are working for the benefit of
this metropolis, let there be taken a glimpse of the
city as it is today.

Residence City

"N HIS American Notes, written in
1842, Charles Dickens said :

"Cincinnati is a beautiful city,

cheerful, thriving, animated. I have

not often seen a place that commends

itself so favorably and pleasantly to a

'j stranger as this does. I was charmed

« — ^ with the appearance of the town and its

I I ■ ^, adjoining suburb, Mt. Auburn, from

which the city, lying in an amphitheatre

of hills, forms a picture of remarkable

beauty. The inhabitants of Cincinnati

are proud of their city, and with good

reason, beautiful and thriving as it is."

What would the great novelist say if he could
walk around the city today?

In the very heart of it he would see Mr. Pro-
basco's splendid gift to the city, the Tyler-Davidson
Fountain, "one of the noblest fountains existing,"
says Joel Cook in his " Picturesque America; " from
its broad esplanade, comforting with the sound of
its splashing waters continually both citizen and
stranger.

There at Fountain Square, the electric cars
meet — a thousand come and go every hour — and
take from thence their various routes to the farthest
limits of the metropolis, five, six, even ten miles
away. Upon the next block is the imposing Gov-

ernment building, Post Office, Custom House and
United States Courts conveniently housed under
one roof. Just around one corner from Fountain
Square is a fine specimen of modern architecture
put up by the Union Trust Company; and just
around the other corner is the Chamber of Com-
merce, one of the last works of the greatest of
American architects, the ever-lamented Richardson.
For the purposes for which it was designed, he
thought to the end of his life, it was his most suc-
cessful work.

The City Hall, not many squares away, is as
fine a municipal building as there is in the country;
its massive, square tower, sturdily standing, fit em-
blem of the solidity of Cincinnati.

Other notable public buildings, which even in
a swift sketch like this must be mentioned, are the
Court House and the Armory, the Hospital and the
Public Library, the House of Refuge and the Work
House, all conspicuous for their adaptation to the
uses for which they were designed.

In proportion to its population the last census
shows that Cincinnati is richer in its charitable and
benevolent institutions than any other in the coun-
try. Outside the City Infirmary there are eighteen
other institutions where charity is dispensed to those
in distress ; and beside the Cincinnati Hospital there

Springer Hall and Exposition 'Buildings.

17,000 patients were treated during the year 1900.
Up to the north of the City Hall is the Music
Hall and the great block of Exposition Buildings,
the gift of Mr. Springer and hundreds of contrib-
uting citizens. The first exposition in the United
States was held in Cincinnati. This was as far back
as 1838, and it was given
under the auspices of the
Ohio Mechanics' Institute
— curious and striking
prophecy and sign of future
development and distinc-
tion. With occasional, and
sometimes long, interrup-
tions, these expositions
were continued until 1888,
only to be revived in the
even more attractive form
of Fall Festivals. It v^'as
during the exposition pe-
riod of the early seventies,
that the enterprise and pub-
lic spirit of the merchants
and manufacturers found
fitting material expression
in the erection of this costly
and stately pile, now the
enduring home of industry.
And of art as well, for in
the first exposition build-
ing was given the first of

the Musical Festivals which have an international
fame, and which have brought to this city the fore-
most singers of the world. And there, in the build-
ings originally designed and planned for the expo-
sitions of industry, the festivals continue to be held,
art and industry cooperating in the work of civic

evolution.

The educational system
was established on a broad
and comprehensive basis.
A public school system,
which is maintained at a
present cost of over a mil-
lion dollars a year, and in
which 46,000 pupils are en-
rolled, is supplemented by
parochial and private
schools with an enrollment
of 5000 more. The public
schools culminate in the
high schools, of which there
are three, with another soon
to be added. Beyond the
high schools is the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati.

The University was
founded in 1870, through
private munificence. " It
is entering upon a career
of great promise," said
PresidentOrton,of theOhio

University, writing in 1882. Since that time, and
especially in the last two years, under new and
vigorous administration, it has begun a widely
extended work. It has public support to the extent
of more than $60,000 a year, and this is very largely
increased by private benefactions. Its collegiate
department compares favorably with those of other

names as those of Judge Walker and Judge Storer,
and Dr. Drake and Dr. Graham, under whose
remarkable abilities the school of law and the

students from all parts of the country.

the medical colleges and the law school have been
to the professional student. Outside the University
are three theological schools, — Lane Seminary,
whose foundations were laid deep by Dr. Beecher;
St. Mary's, consecrated by the labor of John Baptist
Purcell; and the Hebrew Union College, that attests
to the scholarship of Rabbi Wise.

In the department of art, are the Art Museum
and the Art School, attracting students from all
parts of the country, and placed by private bene-
factions, on a firm and lasting basis. There are
two colleges of music, these also on established
and secure foundations, whose work is recognized
throughout the land.

Far away, on the eastern hill that is called Mt.
Lookout, is the Observatory. Ormsby M. Mitchel,
then astronomer and afterwards dashing general,
raised the money which was needed for the pur-
chase of the refracting telescope, which, when it
was bought, was the largest west of the Alleghanies.
Others surpass it today; but, let it not be forgotten
that it was in the service of the Observatory under
Cleveland Abbe, that the first organized meteoro-
logical observations on an extended scale were
undertaken, and that the inspiration of the Weather
Bureau Department of the National Government
came from Cincinnati. The great refractor stood,
when it was bought, for the loftiest aspirations, in

law and medical student, for the boy in the
Technical School and the young man in the
Mechanics' Institute, for the students in the
Colleges of Music or the Art School, and
men in the busy work-shops, there are the
alcoves and shelves of the Public Library. It
is supported at public expense, and as far
back as 1880 it was spoken of as second only
to the public library of Boston. Today, with
larger income than ever, amounting annually
to about $100,000, and under a new and pro-
gressive management, it is entering on a

pure science, of the day, and it was
private citizens of Cincinnati who fur-
nished the money to buy it. When the
Observatory was dedicated, the day was
one of national interest. Today it is
maintained largely at public expense,
and the refractor is used almost exclu-
sively for observations on double stars.
It is a noble and honorable history; and
it is a part of the educational history and
present educational installment of Cin-
cinnati.

And, finally, for the use and benefit
of all, for the child in the intermediate
grade of the public schools to the most ad-
vanced student in the University, for the

career of usefulness that will enable it to realize
the dream of its founders. Its branches are estab-
lished throughout the whole county. In special
directions the exceedingly valuable library of the

History complement the Public Library. "Tools
for those that can use them," said Napoleon.
Scholars, students are coming here in ever-increas-
ing numbers, to use these implements of literary,
scientific, industrial, artistic life.

The educational system of no city in the country
rests on deeper or broader foundations. Intellect-
ual, artistic and industrial endeavor is in the presence
of high and ennobling stimulus. The material
outcome of this constant, abiding incentive is to be
seen in what has been accomplished by such insti-
tutions or factories, — call them what you will — as
Rookwood Pottery and those other industries which
lately represented the city in the Paris Exposition.
No city in the country was as numerously and as

substantially honored as was the metropolis of the
Ohio valley in the last and greatest of the world's
expositions of art and industry.

Around all, educational institutions, industrial
establishments, great business blocks, and homes,
the city throws the protection of police and fire
departments that for efficiency, trustworthiness, and
discipline are not surpassed in this or any other
land. This city was among the first to adopt the
Bertillion Identification System, to rid herself of
criminals. It is not to be overlooked or forgotten that
Cincinnati gave to the world the steam fire engine,
and with it set the example of a paid fire depart-
ment; and that its non-partisan police system is the
admiration of the police authorities of the country.

ANOTHER great English novelist said, as he looked
^ long at a view on Grandin Road, "This is a
very friendly landscape." So Horace Greely spoke
in his Cincinnati letter of 1850, of "the smiling
hills." The two chief parks of the city are on the
hills. Eden Park is fitly named, — it is a garden of
Paradise. The "friendly landscape," as Thackeray
called it, the " smiling hills," the "distributing
river" attract the eye and charm the historic sense.

"No view on the river Rhine is finer," said Lebbeus
Harding Rogers. From the water tower, one
can sweep, as from a mountain top, a horizon fifty
miles in breadth, within which is a population that
pays proud allegiance to the great city. Just below,
to the east, is Walnut Hills, with the river sweeping
in its glorious bend to the north. "The city is
noted for the beauty of its suburbs and surround-
ing scenery," says the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

G. A. K.. Encampment and Chester Park.

The view of East Walnut Hills is sufficient to con-
firm the truth of this statement.

The other great park is Burnet Woods, in the
northern part of the city. Here are preserved with
wise prevision the trees, some of which were old
when the city was founded. Here are still the land-
scape and the hills that novelist and editor loved to
look upon; and here is a glimpse, across the broad
bed of the ancient Ohio, over to the western hills,

with their deep ravines and their winding roadways.
Here also are the University buildings, already giv-
ing, by their stateliness and beauty, sign and promise
of that which shall be. Smaller parks are scattered
through the city.

The view of Chester Park, during the National
Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic
was one never to be forgotten, when the veterans of
the Civil War met to renew their old associations.

Private enterprise has supplemented the park
system of the city. The Zoological Gardens,
famous throughout both hemispheres, are main-
tained by a private corporation. Traction companies
own the Lagoon and
Chester Park.

Coney Island, on
the river, ten miles
above the city, and
Fort Thomas, back
of Newport, on the
heights, add their
attractions and varied
charms. The view
from Fort Thomas,
of the Ohio valley to
the east and of the
Little Miami valley to
the north, is worthy of comparison
with those of the Riverside Drive of
New York, or Druid Hill Park in Bal-
timore. Close by Coney Island are the
new Water Works, designed, when
completed, to aiiford a supply of filtered
water for a population twice as large
as that of the present city. Around
those works a park and driveway will yet be laid out
that will equal in attractions Fairmount Park of
Philadelphia or the loveliness of Brookline. Even
now, where are more picturesque views to be found
than are to be seen on Elberon and Warsaw avenues?

along Hamilton pike or the Groesbeck road as
they wind their separate ways to College Hill? from

or from the Branch Hospital with its distant view of

From Mt. Adams' heights, the land-
scape rivals that of Marseilles, from Notre
Dame de la Garde, so appreciated by
travelers. From any height or tower will
surely be found a rich and varied pros-
pect. The city is impressive from all
points. The range
of green hills, rich
ravines, fertile val-
leys, deep glens,
forests, farms, the
three rivers, and
numerous outlying
villages, each gives
an added charm to
rest. No wonder

It has been said that an adequate impression of
what the city really is, may only be gained by view-
ing older Cincinnati from the heights. The impos-
ing river approach is one of such natural beauty as
to remain indelibly impressed upon the memory.

PRING Grove is near Ches-
ter Park. "That far-
famed cemetery, that
overlooks fromi its
mournful brow the
crowded and gay me-
tropolis of France," is
scarcely better known
than is this silent city
of the dead, its six hun-
dred acres beautified
by the art and skill of a
great landscape gar-
dener. The ever en-
larging city gains ever in landscape and richness of
clustering associations.

Views of this cemetery, exhibited at the Paris
Exposition, received the first award for artistic per-
spective and natural charm. Millions of travelers
pass through the grounds annually over one of Cin-
cinnati's oldest railroads, and thus the picturesque
beauty of this last resting place has become even
better known. Upon a property, which even in
those early days was valued at over half a million
dollars, many graceful shafts have been raised and
mausoleums erected. The statue of Egeria at the
Fountain is much admired by visitors.

In the midst of beautiful surroundings and desir-
able influences, the resident districts of the metrop-
olis lie. Whether on the hills or in the valleys
they who abide here have both remote and near past
to stimulate civic pride, public spirit and private
enterprise. "The climate," says Professor Orton,
"favors symmetrical development and a high degree
of vigor." The various fine products of the Atlan-
tic, the Gulf and the Lakes are within twenty-four
hours of the doors of the city. The streets are well
paved, "perhaps," says high authority, "the best in
the country." The old smoke nuisance is greatly
abating. Land prices have never advanced under
excessive speculation. Rents are low. Wealth is
increasing, and at the same time is widely distribu-
ted. The tax duplicate has risen from one hundred
and sixty-one millions in 1881 to two hundred and
twenty-five millions in 1901. It is the fifth city in
the United States in municipal assets, and in the per
capita of municipal assets the second.

At the present time there are over ten thous-
and more voters registered in Cincinnati than in
Cleveland, made possible by the greater number of
permanent residents in the Queen City.

The government report of postage and internal
revenue returns for the two cities shows an excess
of business to Cincinnati's credit.

V. ^ h e Future of Cincinnati

IT is the bold thought of a modern speculative
philosopher that history may yet be written in

advance, so firm and sure will be the grasp of
men on underlying causes. At the end of his
"Democracy in America," de Tocqueville ventured
two pages of prophecy for the Great Republic.

Any forecast of Cincinnati must take into large
account two factors.

1. The River. As it was one of the two great
agencies that gave to Cincinnati all its natural advan-
tages of situation, so one must hark back to it in
looking forward to the future.

Under the auspices of the Cincinnati Chamber
of Commerce, there was formed in 1895 the Ohio
Valley Improvement Association. By patient and
systematic work that association has secured appro-
priations for the survey of the Ohio River with the
end in view of establishing a system of movable
locks and dams which will secure a stage of water
six feet in depth the year round, from Pittsburg to
Cairo. The estimated cost of the entire improve-
ments is $19,500,000. Considerable work has been
already done. The location of one of these dams
has been fixed at Cullom's Ripples, six miles below
Cincinnati. When this work is completed — the vast
scheme of improvement has been decided on —
Cincinnati will have a safe permanent harbor
thirty miles long. As to the effect of this improve-

ment, let another fill the prophetic role. Colonel
Vance, president of the association, says: "Cincin-
nati and vicinity and all its activities will be benefited
to a greater extent than any other section of the river,
and an era of prosperity will set in that she has not
witnessed in her history."

2. The Cincinnati Southern Railroad. The effort
begun in 1869 to maintain the commercial and indus-
trial position of Cincinnati cost her the enormous
sum of thirty millions of dollars. The burden of
this tremendous debt on the taxpayers has been very
heavy. An average difference of $448,000 between
rental and interest on the bonds, has had to be made
up each year by the taxpayers. Dr. Weber says:
"Low rents and taxes will, in most cases, prove to
be the decisive factors in the growth of industrial
cities."

A proposition has been accepted by the city for
an extension of the present lease for a term of sixty-
five years. The Southern Railroad, under the terms
of the lease and the refunding of the bonds, which
commence to fall due next July, will at once begin
to pay into the city treasury an excess of income
over interest of $339,000 a year; in May, 1906, an
excess of over $500,000 a year, and this excess will
increase until the last years of the terms when it
will amount to $700,000 annually. If the yearly sur-
plus be used to cancel the indebtedness, the entire

of Cincinnati.

Southern Railroad debt can be discharged by 1925,
and the road will be the unencumbered asset of the
city, bringing into the city $1,100,000 a year for
twenty years, and $1,200,000 a year for the next
twenty.

More even than this. Terminal improvements,
worth $2,500,000, will be begun at once, and com-
pleted within six years. At the end of the lease they
will become the unencumbered property of the city
without having cost the city, or any taxpayer, a
single dollar. There will also come a reduction
in taxes. The interest and sinking fund charge is
now about one-fifth of the tax rate . The net income
of the Southern Railroad will be enough to take care
of the entire debt, and in addition provide a sinking
fund that will cancel the entire debt at maturity.
The tax rate of Cincinnati will be no less attractive
to commerce and industry than the price of raw
materials and the rates of transportation.

Dr. Hollander, in his famous study of the South-
ern Railroad, speaks of it as "an experiment as
anomalous as it is remarkable." It is unique in the
municipal history of the world. It has succeeded,
and it will be a source of municipal profit equal to
the expectations of even that remarkable man to
whose originality of conception, fertility of resource
and indomitable courage its building was due.

As far as human foresight can determine, the
future of this river and glacier metropolis will be as
a palimpsest in which the achievements of the past
will be written over in the glories of the time to come.

The conditions are here, the men are here, to fulfill
Horace Greely's prophecy of 1850: "Her delightful
climate, her unequaled and ever-increasing facilities
for cheap and rapid commercial intercourse with
all parts of the country and the world, her enter-
prising and exulting youth, are all elements which
assure her quick and electric progress to giant
greatness."

Mr. Bryce says, at the end of his "American
Commonwealth " : " The coasts of history are strewn
with the wrecks of predictions launched by histor-
ians and philosophers." Nevertheless, and still,
the natural and eager questioning comes: "What
of the future? What does, or may, it hold in store
for this fair city of our love?"

1. It is notunreasonable tolookforward, during
the next few decades, to a larger relative growth,
and it may easily be a larger absolute growth, in the
South, than in any other part of the United States.
At least statistics lend color to this view. Unde-
veloped agricultural and mineral resources are the
foundations for this belief. Senator M'Laurin says,
in the "North American Review": "It is the natural
destiny of the Southern States of the Union to clothe
and feed the world. They will become the great
wealth-producing area of the country by virtue of
their natural monopoly of cotton and cotton manu-
factures and iron and iron manufactures." Cincinnati
is one of the great and natural gateways to the South.

2. Through the enterprise and self-denial of a
generation, Cincinnati owns, in the Southern

Railroad, the best-built and the most direct means
of communication between the North and South.
That railroad will hereafter not only not cost the city
anything to maintain, but will bring in a large rev-
enue and taxes will be reduced. What has been for
thirty years a burden will help within a year, and ever
thereafter, to bear the burden.

government, the city is now deriving from one of
its great quasi-public corporations, the street rail-
roads, a larger annual income than any other city
in the Union, save Baltimore, enjoys. This income
will increase as the population of the city increases,
and the receipts of the street railroad company
grow larger. It is hardly to be supposed that the

Cincinnati Technical School it^ood-it}orking room,

3. There will come an improvement in the
terminal facilities of the city, for lack of which the
city, in its commerce and its industries, has suffered
and is still suffering. There will be no more trouble
on this score. Great improvements in the adjacent
property will naturally follow.

4. Through the wise foresight of the municipal

An evening class at The Ohio Mechanics' Institute.

city, whose foresight secured certain compensation
for a street railroad franchise, will not secure such
compensation from other quasi-public corporations.
This again means lower taxes.

5. River transportation will be greatly facilitated
as the National Government goes on with its work
of internal improvement, and the river will become

a feature of greater importance than it has been since
1850.

6. The canal will be improved. Lake Superior
iron ores and Ohio river coal will find in, or near,
Cincinnati the meeting point where raw material
can be most cheaply and profitably worked over and
into the manufactured product.

Thus the superior advantages of Cincinnati,
both as a manufacturing center and as a distributing
point, will certainly be increased by forces and
agencies now at work and within sight of all. These
advantages will, in all probability, secure more rapid
growth in population during the next three or four
decades than in the last three or four. Dr. C. C.
Long says, in his standard school series, that "Cin-
cinnati enjoys advantages of location and natural
wealth, which have made possible her industrial
supremacy and commercial greatness."

7. Coal smoke has hitherto been and, although
lessened, is now, one of Cincinnati's great draw-
backs. There is no question but it can be largely
prevented. With a vigorous public opinion that it
shall be prevented, and with growing knowledge of
the enormous loss that smoke means and causes, a
smokeless city can scarcely be regarded as a distant
dream. Something has been already accomplished.
With active, energetic municipal cooperation, it
will not be difficult to secure the desired end. When
public opinion will no more tolerate smoking chim-
neys on city plants — the Front street water works,
for instance — than at the works of private industrial

establishments, the longed-for end will not be far
off. What has been, and is still, regarded as a neces-
sary evil, will become an insupportable, intolerable
waste. Science never yet failed to keep abreast
with public demand. With the abatementof smoke
will disappear the only blemish in the citylandscapes.

8. With the reduction in taxation, which will fol-
low the lease-extension of the Southern Railroad,
and the refunding of the Southern Railroad bonds,
will come a park system. That system will be finer
than that of any other system in the country, because
in the fifty square miles in and around Cincinnati
are such natural park capabilities as no other city in
the country has. The art of the landscape gardener
will be called upon as that of Count Rumford was
called upon by Munich, or of Frederick Law Olm-
stead by New York. That such a system was not
created long ago is due to the fact that the city
preferred to build its railroad to buying its parks.
Now she can have both, for her railroad has made
her the richest city in this country.

Florence, the longest-lived and most glorious
of all the free commonwealths of Italy, had, in the
days of her splendor, her libraries, her observatory,
her university. Albert Shaw says "the modern city
is a highly self-conscious organization, each marked
by its individual characteristics." The nine muses,
handmaidens of industry, are inviting to Cincinnati
in the name of Music and Art, Science and Liter-
ature. The University, the libraries, the great
professional schools, are landmarks that not only

show Cincinnati's past aspirations, but that blaze
the way to future distinction. Municipal and private
wealth are alike growing. The city is increasing
in all that makes a city attractive, or living in it
attractive. The growth has been intensive, rather
than extensive. Mere largeness is not the chief
element of urban life. Three generations have
delivered to the generation of today a city fair to
look upon, solid as the hills which surround it, and
attractive to both art and industry.

The "Philopolist" was dedicated by its author
to The Business Men's Club, "because he believes
them loyally devoted to the higher interests of Cin-
cinnati." The traditions, the inspirations are here
to stimulate. Opportunities wait to be embraced.
A broader work than any yet accomplished can be
done. "The City Beautiful" only waits to be
builded by such loyalty and personal devotion as
appears in the resourceful efforts of The Business
xMen's Club.

"ONCINNATI. FIRST. LAST AND ALL THE TIME."

NINE years ago, ten young men of Cincinnati, —
the oldest was scarcely more than twenty-
one, — were inspired to associate themselves
together to conceive and discuss, at stated times,
matters relating to the general interests of the city.
The Business Men's Club is the outgrowth of the
meetings and efforts then begun.

They called themselves the Young Men's Bus-
iness Club, and decided to hold ten meetings a year,
at each of which dinner was to be served, at a cost
not exceeding one dollar per plate. The annual
dues were also fixed at one dollar. Such were the
modest beginnings of the Club that today is fore-
most in active, aggressive, progressive work for Cin-
cinnati. In a way, the history of the Club typifies
the history of the city itself as already brie fly sketched.
Youth, with its strong purpose, does not know that
anything is impossible.

The ten annual dinners were given at the Grand
Hotel, where warm welcome and hospitality were
extended. To this day the original members of the
Club remember gratefully the liberality and courtesy
they received in the early days from the manage-
ment of that Hotel.

New members were enrolled. The dinners
constituted the meetings, with short and rather
informal addresses and discussions on subjects of
general, but always of Cincinnati's, interest. After
a time, with a view to interest older business men
of the city in their work, a resolution was passed
admitting associate members at two dollars a year;
and it was with sincere pleasure that the Club saw
recorded on its books the names of nearly a hundred
of some of the most prominent business and pro-
fessional men of Cincinnati who gave the encour-
agement, not only of their support, but of their

Committee Meeting, at the Club,

presence, to the young men in their undertaking.

A president was elected, Mr. Theodore Mayer,
and during his term of office the annual dues were
raised to ten dollars, — no charge being made for
the dinners. The modest expenses were still kept
down, the basis of membership being thus main-
tained as broad as possible. During Mr. Mayer's
term, on one special occasion, addresses on the
Southern Railroad were made by Mr. Ingalls and
Mr. W. T. Perkins. At other dinners members of
the Club were the speakers, and among the ques-
tions discussed were the building of a belt railroad,
a uniform bill of lading, and the canal. The subject
of securing a fast mail to and from the South was
brought up, and Mr. A. W. Sommerfield was
appointed, in connection with one from nine other
prominent organizations, to visit Washington and
urge upon Congress the need of the increased facil-
ities. Success crowned the etf^orts, and the good
results of the work are being still realized. To the
Club itself this success brought both public recog-
nition of its usefulness and also a distinct conscious-
ness that it had become a factor of importance in
the life of Cincinnati.

Mr. Mayer was succeeded by Mr. Sommerfiield
and he served as presiding officer from September,
1895, to September, 1896. The now customary ten
dinners were given at the Grand Hotel during Mr.
Sommerfield's term, at one of which Judge W. H.
Taft, now the Governor General of the Philippines,
delivered a stirring address on "The Proper and

Possible Influence of Young Business Men upon
Public and Municipal Afifairs." There was a very
large attendance at this meeting, and it is still remem-
bered as one of the most distinguished Club
occasions. Atanotherinteresting meeting thatyear,
Mr. E. A. Angell of Cleveland, and Mr. Richard
Smith of this city, spoke on "Tax Laws, their
Iniquities and their Remedies." Other meetings
were addressed by members of the Club.

The most important event of the year was the
adoption of a recommendation by President Som-
merfield for the incorporation of the Club under
the laws of Ohio. In accordance with this action,
the Club was incorporated, under the name it had
borne from its organization, on May 11, 1896, the
incorporators being A. W. Sommerfield, Theodore
Mayer, Mortimer O'Kane, Harry Hess, George B.
Clarkson and P. J. Cadwalader.

' * Tbeye is a tide in Ij.h' affairs of wen which taken at its flood leads on to fortune^ '

This act of incorporating seemed to greatly
promote the Club's interest. It gave new life and
inspiration to those who had been most zealous in
its behalf. From that time on, the Club grew stead-
ily in both membership and importance among the
other organizations of the city.

Mr. Robert McGowan was elected President
in September, 1896. It was during his term, in July,
1897, that the limit of membership, one hundred,
was reached. During the winter of 1897, the mem-
bership fast increasing, it had been proposed that
the Club make an efifort to secure one or more rooms

'Director's room, billiard parlor, grill room and office.

in some central location where such members as
desired could meet daily, and so place the organiza-
tion on a substantial club basis. A committee was
appointed to ascertain what could
be done, with instructions to report
as soon as possible. Some time
was spent in investigation, and the
committee finally recommended
securing a room in the second
floor of the Pike Building where
lunch could be served at noon by
caterer White. The recommen-
dation was adopted and the room at
once secured. Arrangements
were made for the serving of lunch
from 11 A. M. to 3 P. M.

When, in July, the limit of
membership of one hundred was
reached, the Club, at a regular
meeting, decided to increase the
limit to two hundred, for the two-
fold purpose of giving additional
strength and of making the organ-
ization more representative of
the city's interests. It was soon
found that the one room in the
Pike Building did not meet the
requirements of the Club, and

At the end of Mr. McGowan's term, in Sep-
tember, 1897, the Club membership numbered one
hundred and thirty-five, made up of representative
and progressive young business
men of Cincinnati, interested in
various lines of trade and manu-
facture, and bound together by
many business and social ties.
The Club furnishings were paid
for and a considerable surplus was
left in the treasury. Moreover, a
Club home having been acquired,
the monthly dinner at the Grand
Hotel was discontinued, as was
also the addresses bynon-members
of the Club. Instead, business
meetings of the Club were held,
at which papers were read by
members of the Club on matters
of interest to Cincinnati, after
which a bufifet lunch was served.
Mr. George M. Verity was
chosen President, after a spirited
contest, in September, 1897, suc-
ceeding Mr. McGowan . The
Club year that followed proved an
eventful one. During it, the Club
entertained President McKinlev-

permanent home that would be creditable to both
itself and the city; it secured amended articles of
incorporation which authorized a capital stock
of $25,000, of which one-half was immediately sub-
scribed by members of the Club; and, finally,
pending the selection of a permanent home, it
removed temporarily to the Emery Hotel.

Mr. John H. Gibson succeeded Mr. Verity as
President, in September, 1898. At the end of Mr.
Gibson's term he was able to congratulate the Club
on having secured, after some difficulties, a perma-
nent home in the Herschede Building, No. 24 East
Fourth street; on a full membership of five hundred,
with a waiting list besides, and on the prosperous
condition of Club affairs. In his annual report Mr.
Gibson spoke of Club visits to Louisville and Dayton,
"which," he said, "cannot fail to produce friendly
business relations between the cities, and will assist
in adjusting questions of freight discriminations and
prevent business differences from arising." He
spoke also of the Club's entertaining "our friends
from Louisville," and the Alabama Editorial Asso-
ciation. It was during Mr. Gibson's administra-
tion, on September 9, 1899, that the name of the
Club was changed to The Business Men's Club.
"The new name implies solidity and maturity,"
said Mr. Gibson in his report.

Mr. W. H. Harrison succeeded Mr. Gibson,
being elected President in September, 1899. The
principal Club event of Mr. Harrison's administra-
tion was the removal of the Club to the present

spacious and delightful house. For the first time
in its history the Club found itself in convenient
and comfortable quarters — though, indeed, con-
sidering that it had been founded only about seven
years before, its rapid progress is rather more strik-
ing than the fact that it had not earlier found its
established home. All the usual club conveniences
and facilities are now at its command. The house
was dedicated November 30, 1899.

The Club regulations, adopted immediately
after Mr. Harrison's election — September 28, 1899,
provided for a membership limit of five hundred,
for the ownership by each member of one share of
stock, for an initiation fee of ten dollars, and for
annual dues of twenty-five dollars. The member-
ship limit has since been raised,first to seven hundred
and fifty and then to eight hundred. With this
exception, the regulations as to dues and qualifying
conditions remain as then adopted. Other condi-
tions are such as are commonly found in force in
similar organizations.

Scarcely was the Club in possession of its new
abode when, through events and surrounding con-
ditions, the leadership in the movement for a Fall
Festival devolved upon it. In a way the Festival
was a revival of the old Exposition idea, but the
experience of the past was but a slight guide to the
work then taken in hand. New methods had to be
devised; an uninterested public had to be made
interested; money had to be raised and plans
of entertainment and instruction thought out;

cooperation had to be secured. It was The Business
Men's Club that held the laboring oar. The Presi-
dent of the Festival, himself a member of the Club,
said, after it was all over:

"Six months ago, 1 doubt if there were fifty
people in Cincinnati who wanted a Fall Festival.
I doubt if you can find fifty now who do not want
one next year. It will
be as easy to succeed then
as most people thought
it would be to fail this
year."

During the year, the
Club took a very active
part in the successful
effort to secure the pass-
age of the legislation
necessary to bring about

the annexation of neighboring suburbs, and in
advocating the annexation measure before the peo-
ple. It gave valuable support to the May Festival
of 1900. Itstrongly advocated larger appropriations
by the city government for street cleaning, and
obtained them. It was foremost in securing the
passage by the Board of Legislation of the Valley
switch ordinance. It sent a committee to Wash-
ington to urge the appropriation of a million dollars
by the National Government for the improvement
of the river at Cincinnati. It visited Indianapolis —
"a master stroke," President Harrison said in his
annual report, "to create good fellowship with the

merchants." It was at work also, through com-
mittees, on the municipal code, the abatement of
the smoke nuisance, the Southern Railroad, the
canal and street railroadimprovements. It also took
up the feasibility of establishing an Industrial Bu-
reau— work that was destined later to be of great
benefit to the city. For, capitalists and industrial
promoters everywhere, have since heard through
this bureau, that choice manufacturing sites on trunk
lines of railroad, may be secured here; that a low
nsurance rate prevails, and that skilled labor and

raw materials are avail-
able in Cincinnati, at the
minimum of cost.

At the end of his
term. President Harrison
had the pleasure of an-
nouncing a Club mem-
bership limit of seven
hundred and fifty, a Club
membership of seven
hundred and forty-eight,
with a waiting list of
In saia attire. fouTtceu; all buildiug

and furnishing accounts, amounting to nearly
$20,000 paid, and a net balance in bank, after deduct-
ing all outstanding and unsettled bills, of over $7,000.
Well could the retiring president say that the work
of the Club had "broadened out," that "the record
of the past year was one to be proud of," and that
the members "had not spared themselves to accom-

plish the best interests of the Club and promote the
city's welfare."

Mr. John Church was chosen to succeed Mr.
Harrison, being elected president in September,
1900. During his term of office much profitable
committee work was accomplished. Work by the
committee on movable dams was followed by that
of committees on canal improvement. Southern
Railroad lease extension, abatement of smoke,
street railways, parks, public baths, municipal
affairs, S^ngerfest deficit, telephone cooperation,
trades excursions and various other matters of im-
portance to the city. The results in nearly every
instance have been gratifying.

The new quarters committee submitted to the
Club several choice locations and plans for a new
Club building, which it is intended shall be of the
most modern type, — the present quarters, though
but recently improved, having been found inade-
quate to the needs of the rapidly increasing mem-
bership.

The Club has contributed liberally to numerous
worthy enterprises, and strives to emphasize the
principle that the world should be better as the
result of each person in it having been useful. The
Club's work shows that business men, — as well as
artists, authors, clergymen, soldiers, scientists and
others to whom such desire is usually attributed, —
may have unselfish motives and may discountenance
every element that flies the black flag; especially
where the city's interests are at stake.

Mr. George Puchta succeeded Mr. Church in
the presidency in September, 1901, after the most
spirited, yet friendly, contest in the history of the
Club. New work is being mapped out for the
coming year. The membership has been increased
to nine hundred. There is a waiting list of over
sixty. The dining rooms will be remodeled and
enlarged and other improvements made.

In such matters as the McKinley memorial
fund, the erection of a Cincinnati building at the
South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposi-
tion, to be held at Charleston, S. C, and other pub-
lic undertakings, the Club responds liberally, in
order that Cincinnati may be properly represented.

The social side of the Club has developed since
the occupation of the rooms in the Pike building;
but this side of its life has not caused the abandon-
ment of the basic idea, — ten meetings a year for the
consideration and discussion of questions relating,
directly and indirectly, to the welfare of Cincinnati.
Those meetings give the key to the meaning and
purpose of the Club. The noon-day lunch, the
daily chat, the occasional dinner cement friendships,
but the monthly meetings cut out the real work.
Without them, the Club would be like any other
business association, large or small, that meets at
lunch. With the formal monthly meetings, with
the prepared addresses or papers, comes the serious
consideration, the careful planning, that makes the
Club one of the foremost organizations in Cincin-
nati for the accomplishment of good to the city.

The original articles of incorporation, filed by
Mr. Sommerfield and his associates, set forth that
the purpose of the corporation was: "To promote
the best interests of Cincinnati." That purpose,
early expressed, has been steadily and faithfully
adhered to. It is expressed in the motto the Club
has chosen for itself: "Cincinnati, first, last and
all the time." Other organizations have for their
purpose the promotion of commerce or manufac-
turing, the protection of shippers or tax-payers, the
development of special lines of business, the secur-
ing of conventions, or the discussion of economic
and civic subjects, or the beautifying of the city by
works of art. The Business Men's Club occupies a
field of its own. "I think nothing relating to human-
ity foreign to me," the old poet said. The Business
Men's Club thinks that nothing which tends "to pro-
mote the best interests of Cincinnati" outside its
sphere of action. It desires to see money spent as well
as money saved. It is in hearty sympathy with every
effort, organized or unorganized, to promote com-
merce or manufacturing, to secure conventions and
develop the resources of this great city. Its mem-
bers are members of other organizations. But in
The Business Men's Club they have organized to do
whatever will do the greatest good to the greatest
number of the citizens of Cincinnati.

Is there need of an organized effort to secure
cleaner streets? That effort is within the province
of The Business Men's Club.

Will a trip to Lexington tend to help Cincin-

nati's trade, through the promotion of friendly inter-
course and the establishing of new relations? The
Business Men's Club goes.

Are Tennessee editors to be entertained? It is
The Business Men's Club that is glad to meet the
strangers and do the rites of hospitality.

Is a large Sasngerfest debt to be lifted? It is
The Business Men's Club that organizes a plan, and
carries it through to successful issue in thirty days,
after all other efforts had failed.

Is "The Philopolist" to be put into general
circulation? The Business Men's Club secured the
publication and free distribution of 7,000 copies.

Is it annexation that is engaging the public atten-
tion? The Business Men's Club sends into the field
the ablest and best equipped champion of the
movement.

Is it parks that Cincinnati desires? The Busi-
Men's Club inaugurates the movement which
results in the passage of the Park bill.

Is it better drainage, better ventilation in the pub-
lic schools that the welfare of the children of the city
demands? It is The Business Men's Club that speaks
for the business men and business interests of the city.

Is it a revival of the expositions that is talked
of? The Business Men's Club organizes a Fall
Festival which recalls all the attractions of the old
exposition and adds new features which draw to the
city a hundred thousand visitors, and is so decided
a success that the second Cincinnati Fall Festival is
undertaken in 1901, with even greater success.

Take the recent work done by the Club for
the lease extension. The proposition had scarcely
been approved by the Sinking Fund Trustees
when the subject was taken into consider-
ation by the Southern Railroad Com-
mittee of the Club. The favorable report
of the committee and the adoption of the
report by the Club was the first
formal support given by any organ-
ization of the city. The Club did
notstophere. The reasons for the
action were set forth
in a terse, strong way,
and then distributed
throughout the city, the
Club bearing the whole
expense. Nobetteridea
of the work the Club
engages in can be given
than this report affords.
The committee say, after
reciting the terms of the
two propositions:

"The several reasons
why the measure merits
oursupport are because:

" 1. Under the pres-
ent lease we have re-
ceived an average rental from October 12, 1881, to
October 12, 1901, of $997,500. Under the new
proposition we will receive an average annual rental

Ji suburban fountain.

from October 12, 1901, to October 12, 1966,
of $1,126,923. An annual average increase
of $129,423, without taking into consideration
the additional rental to be paid on
account of terminals in Cincinnati
and betterments required by the
lease.

"2. The average annual rental
provided by the new lease will yield
6.15 per cent income to the city on
the original cost of the road, $18,-
300,000; if the bonds be
refunded at 3 per cent,
there will be an annual
saving and net income
of 3.15 percent on $18,-
300,000, or $576,450. A
liberal amount should
be reserved annually to
retire outstanding
bonds and still leave a
handsome balance to
apply to a reduction of
the tax levy.

"3. The bonds for
terminal facilities are to
be issued to improve the
property of the City.
" 4. The Cincinnati, NewOrleans&Texas Pacific
Railway Company will pay additional rental suf-
ficient in amount to pay the bonds and interest.

" 5. The measure will therefore not increase tax-
ation, but will materially reduce same.

"6. The money will all be expended in Cincin-
nati by the Board of Trustees. (A board whose
integrity has never been questioned.)

" 7. Terminal facilities in Cincinnati will supply
a long-felt want and will complete the enterprise so
courageously undertaken.

" 8. The extension nowwill insure the refunding
at a low rate of about $8,000,000 7 to per cent bonds
of the City of Cincinnati due July 1, 1902, issued
for the construction of the Cincinnati Southern
Railway.

"9. The increased rental and the lower interest
rate on bonds will certainly lessen the burden of
taxation.

" The entire proposition for the modification and
extension of the lease will be presented for the
approval or rejection of the qualified electors at the
next regular election, on November 5. We recom-
mend the endorsement of the proposition by The
Business Men's Club, and sincerely hope the mem-
bers will support same at the polls, not only by their

votes butwith their influence upon those not familiar
with the question."

The committee was composed of Charles A.
Hinsch, Samuel E. Hilles and C. G. Kingsbury.

It is constructive work, not destructive criticism,
that The Business Men's Club believes in. Its
inspiration is a deep, continuing belief in this city
and its future. It draws to itself all who share that
belief. It spends time, thought and money to make
the city attractive to its own citizens as well as to
strangers. Itbelieves the city has the right to expect
such service from all. It is a new and organized
body in Cincinnati which gathers to itself those that
believe public spirit is a living duty and not a polit-
ical catch-word. Itwasbornof the generous enthus-
iasm of youth. It has grown to be what it is through
the abiding convictions of mature manhood that
Cincinnati is worth working for, — and working hard
for. In nine years it has grown from an active mem-
bership of ten to one of nearly nine hundred. It is
a force that must be reckoned with in the move-
ments and problems of the future.

IINCINNATI was the
birth-place of the ex-
position idea. The first
one given in the United
States was held here. Those
that came afterwards were in
the fine of natural development.
They trained up a body of men
who understood the management of e.xpositions, —
how to organize them, how to make them attractive.
It was because of this training that when the first
great exposition of the republic was given, — the
Philadelphia centennial, in 1876 — the directors
came to Cincinnati for their director general. They
found him in the person of the president of the
Cincinnati exposition. The soundness of his ideas
was recognized when that marvelous display of
industrial development opened new vistas and possi-
bilities to the American people. No city contrib-
uted more to the succcess of that undertaking than
it did, in furnishing the general who thought out
and carried out the broad plans and thousand details
of the mighty display.

After 1888, the Exposition idea languished in
Cincinnati. Perhaps the older hands that had been
bearing aloft the torch had become tired; perhaps
new and fresh enthusiasm was needed. At any rate,
in the spring of 1900, The Business Men's Club

undertook the work which the generation before it
had laid down. They organized a Fall Festival
Association, all the directors of which were members
of the Club. If the work was new to them, they
nevertheless boldly grappled with it. They secured
cooperation. They interested the newspapers.
They laid plans on new lines. They evolved a Fes-
tival. The old Exposition continued thirty days;
the Festival lasted but ten. Some of the old features
were abandoned; new ones were introduced. The
city, which was, at first, apathetic and indifferent,
was aroused with enthusiasm as feature after feature
of daily panorama of industrial growth and activity
was developed. In the Trades Parade and the
Flower Pageant the work culminated.

When it was all over, it was recognized on all
sides that a new force was visibly at work. One of
the papers spoke of the opening exercises in Music
Hall as "showing a latent sentiment that was stirring
Cincinnati as she had not been stirred in manyyears;
a determination has been awakened to take advant-
age of this start, and forge ahead by everybody
lending his help and contributing his mite to show
the world that Cincinnati is greater, richer, more
progressive than ever before." Another paper said:
"The people of Cincinnati are beginning to realize
in more ways than one the institutions that are in
Cincinnati that only needed the touch of enterprise

to call them into action." It was true that Cincin-
nati began then to find herself. "It astonishes the
people themselves, and the hundred thousand people
that came here from a distance are amazed at the
enthusiasm displayed," a newspaper said. "We
beg to offer our sincere and unqualified congratu-
lations," said one of the daily papers, "to every
person who has had anything to do, directly or indi-
rectly, wath the Fall Festival, and especially the
Floral Parade. It has never been equaled since the
days when the great expositions were the glory of
Cincinnati. It has remained for the young business
men of this generation to set anew the pace." The
Chamber of Commerce, "believing it eminently
proper to give recognition to those who have carried
into execution, and to successful conclusion, the
plans to awaken local and outside interests in the
affairs of the city," gave a banquet in its great hall
in honor of those who had organized the Festival.
The same spirit again manifested itself in 1901,
when the work of the second Cincinnati Fall Festival
was enthusiastically undertaken by President!. Stacy
Hill and the Board of Directors of the Fall Festival
Association. This year efforts were made along
even broader lines than before. The use of Wash-
ington Park gave much needed additional space,
and when connected with the Exposition Buildings
by an arch over Elm street, made possible a greater
variety of exhibits and a more inviting maze of enter-
tainments than has before been enjoyed in the city.
The constantly increasing throngs of visitors, coming

from within a radius of hundreds of miles, showed
full appreciation of "The City Beautiful," and her
mammoth stores and many industries received a
fresh impetus that was extremely gratifying.

The Industrial Parade and Flower Parade
received only favorable comment and the gorgeous
Night Pageant called for unlimited praise both from
visitors and citizens.

The streets of the city adjacent to the exposition
grounds were nightly ablaze with innumerable elec-
tric lights arranged in arches and festoons aggre-
gating many miles in length, and with the electric
fountain and other attractions, reminded those who
saw it all, of childhood's dream of fairyland.

The excellent engravings but faintly portray
the artistic effects of light and shade and delicate
tinting of the flower-covered chariots, floats and other

vehicles. Strikingly picturesque ..^ '->„_

and beautiful designs representing
various industries, were seen in the
Industrial Parade, only to be fol-
lowed by as elaborate or richer
effects each succeeding moment, ji

The various parades reflected M
great credit on the Queen City,jj
her Fall Festival Association, pub- i|
lie schools, organizations and 'I'l

outlying villages, merchants
and manufacturers and on the
Cincinnati Southern Travel- '^■v^
ing Men's Association. The

Order of Itannicnic presented a spectacle in the
Night Pageant never to be effaced from the mem-
ories of over half a million citizens and guests of
Cincinnati.

It is impossible, in this volume, to do justice to
the Fall Festival displays, pageant or parades. The
pleasing detail of it all would require hundreds of
full page illus-
trations. The
I n dust rial Pa-
rade was inter-
esting and in-
structive, and
the Flower Pa-
rade was most
generously ap-
preciated. The
weird effects
shown in the
Night Pageant,
with its tens of
thousands of
moving irides-
cent electric
bulbs, lighting fantastic floats from thirty to over
one hundred feet in length, were startling. The
moving tableaux of Aladdin and His Lamp, Tales
of the Sea, The Great Itan, The Dragon, Cow that
Jumped Over the Moon, Cinderella, The Bow of
Promise, Prince of Pleasure, Elks, Jack the Giant
Killer, Sleeping Beauty, The Old Woman Who

Lived in a Shoe, and numerous others, could not
receive adequate mention in this mere index to the
feast of eye offered to Cincinnati's guests.

The only shadow that can dim the memory of
so wonderful an extravaganza, is that which falls
from the promise of the Festival officers for 1902,
to surpass what has been done. If this be possible —

and much is
possible in The
Queen City —
then indeed is
the conviction
strong that in-
dustrial and
commercial
Cincinnati will
receive even
greater impe-
tus next Fall,
through the
presence of
hosts of more
than s atisfie d
visitors.

The work done in 1900 and 1901 was the visible,
public expression of the motto of The Business
Men's Club, — "Cincinnati, first, last and all the
time." It showed that the public spirit which, in
1870, was strong, uplifting, was still here, only
awaiting to respond to calls. The Festivals showed
that the power of initiation was not dead.
